CARPENTERS ALINING JIG Filed Jan. 21, 1953 INVENTOR. BENJAMIN FAAA/Mq United States PatentO 2,718,247 CARPENTERS ALI NING no Benjamin F. Kalina, Bowman, N. Dak.
Application January 21, 1953, Serial No. 332,453
2 Claims. (Cl. 145-1) This invention has relation to a jig used by carpenters for alining and supporting two-'by-four or other brace members with respect to each other while they are being permanently nailed into place. A device made according to the present invention will be particularly useful in positioning studding or rafters while'theyare being toenailed into other brace members.
A device made according to the present invention is equipped with positioning spikes which may be driven into a brace member to which a stud or rafter is to be nailed. A driving bar is provided for use in driving the spikes into and pulling them out of the brace member and plates are provided for positioning the stud or rafter.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a device made according to the present invention in position to support a pair of mutually perpendicular brace members with respect to each other;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the device showing its relationship to two brace members being nailed together;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged front elevational view showing the device with respect to fragmentary portions of said brace members;
Fig. 4 is an end elevational view of the device as seen from the right in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on line 55 in Fig. 3; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a modified form of the device showing its relationship to a rafter and another base member.
Referring to the drawing and the numerals of reference thereon, a carpenters alining jig 10 includes a base plate 11, an alining plate 12, a driving bar 13 and a pair of positioning spikes 1414. These positioning spikes extend downwardly at right angles from the base plate and in alinement with the alining plate 12 which extends upwardly from the base plate at right angles thereto. The driving bar 13 likewise extends upwardly from the base plate and is in alinement with the positioning spikes 1414 at an opposite side of said base plate. A base flap 15 is constituted as an integral portion of the base plate 11 and extends outwardly therefrom at right angles thereto at one end thereof. An alining flap 16 is constituted as an integral part of the alining plate 12 and extends outwardly therefrom, at right angles thereto and in the same plane with the base flap 15.
A first wooden brace member is denoted 17 and a second wooden brace member to be nailed thereto is denoted 18.
When it is necessary or desirable to fasten a second wooden brace member 18 at right angles to a first brace member 17, the desired position of a first face or surface of said second brace member can be marked or indicated on the first brace member. The alining jig is then positioned so that the base flap 15 is in contact with an edge surface of the first brace member and so that the outer face of the alining plate 12 is in the same plane 2 ,7 18 ,247 Patented Sept- .2-0, 1955 as the desired location of said first face of the second brace member. The positioning spikes 14- 14 are then driven into the first brace member .17 through the instrumentality of a hammer striking on the outer ,end'of the driving'bar 13. The alining jig is now properly positioned for use.
The second wooden brace member 18 isplaced in position so that said first surface thereof is in contact with the alining plate 12 and so that an adjacent edge sur: face thereof is in contact with the alining flap 16. With the alining jig 10 as a guide and as a support, the second brace member can be toenailed to the first brace member. This toenailing canta'ke place throughthe surface of the second brace member opposite that surface in contact with the alining plate 12 and throughthe end surface of the second member 18 opposite the S111"! face in contact with the alining flap 16. Said alining plate 12 and alining flap 16 will prevent movementof the second brace member with respect to the first brace member'while these nails are being driven into place. When the membershave been securely nailed on two' sides of the second brace member, 'the driving bar 13 can be grasped with the hand and be pulled sideways so that the positioning spikes 1414 can be loosened and the alining jig removed from the brace members. If desired, the second brace member can be toenailed into the first brace member through the surfaces which were formerly in contact with the alining plate and the alining flap. The nails through the other two side surfaces will hold the second brace member in position with respect to the first while this final nailing is taking place.
A modified form of the invention is disclosed in Fig. 6. A modified carpenters alining jig 20 consists of a base plate 21, an alining plate 22 at right angles thereto, a driving bar 23 extending upwardly from the base plate 21 parallel to and in the same direction as the alining plate 22, positioning spikes 24--24 extending downwardly from said base plate at right angles thereto and parallel with the axis of the driving bar 23, and a base flap 25 at right angles to said base plate and said alining plate and extending outwardly from said base plate in the same direction as the positioning spikes 24--24. A first wooden brace member is denoted 27 while a second wooden brace member or rafter designed to be nailed to said first member at an angle is denoted 28.
The modified jig 20 is driven into the wood of the first brace member 27 in exactly the same way as was described in the main form of the invention. A second wooden brace member is then placed into position with one surface thereof in contact with the surface of the alining plate 22. The second brace member can now be toenailed into the first brace member by driving the nails through the surface opposite the surface which is in contact with the surface of alining plate 22. The modified alining jig will be effective in preventing sideways movement of the second brace member while it is being initially nailed in place. After the nails are in place through one surface of the second brace member, the driving bar 23 can be grasped by the hand and pulled sideways until the modified jig comes free from the brace members. Then the other three sides of the second brace member can be utilized to nail the members to each other.
What is claimed is:
1. A carpenters alining jig for positioning and supporting first and second brace members in perpendicular relationship to each other while they are being nailed together including a base plate, a driving bar integrally connected to said base plate and extending outwardly from one side thereof, a positioning spike extending outwardly from said base plate at right angles thereto at "ice become embedded in a first surface of said first brace member when a driving force is applied to said driving bar at an end thereof opposite said base plate, said base plate being adapted to lie in contact with said first surface of said first brace member. when said spike is so embedded, a base flap integral with said base plate and extending outwardly therefrom at right angles thereto and adapted to lie in contact with a second surface of said first brace member when said base plate is in contact with said first surface of said first brace member, an alining plate integral with said base plate and extending outwardly from one edge thereof at right angles thereto in a direction away from said positioning spike, and an alining flap integral with said alining plate and extending outwardly therefrom at right angles thereto in a' direction away from said base plate, said alining plate and alining flap being adapted to lie in contact with mutually perpendicular surfaces of said second brace member when said brace members are being nailed to each other.
2. A carpenters alining jig for positioning and supporting first and second brace members in perpendicular relationship to each other while they are being nailed together including a base plate, a driving bar integrally connected to said base plate and extending outwardly from one side thereof, a positioning spike extending outwardly from said base plate at right angles thereto at a side thereof opposite said driving bar and adapted to become imbedded in a first surface of said first brace member when a driving force is applied to said driving bar at an end thereof opposite said base plate, said base plate being adapted to lie in contact with said first surface of said first brace member when said spike is so imbedded, a base flap integral with said base plate and extending outwardly therefrom at right angles thereto adapted to lie in contact with a second surface of said first brace member when said base plate is in contact with said first surface of said first brace member, and an alining plate integral with said base plate and extending outwardly from one edge thereof at right angles thereto in a direction away from said positioning spike, said alining plate being adapted to lie in contact with a surface of said second brace member when said brace members are being nailed toeach other.
